venezia photodiary {finally}

Cooped up at home selling furniture and waiting for Irene to pass (if the storm ever really hits), I finally feel I have the time to post about Venice!

We went right after Prague for a quick whirlwind of a weekend trip. I hadn't really done any research, just knew to expect to walk a lot and get lost most of the time.

We found a great B&B, Barababao, which is a family-operated spot with just a few rental rooms and an amazing restaurant on the first floor. We had dinner there twice.. the most memorable being spaghetti with clams and huge grafts of house wine. Yum!

PRAGUE PHOTODIARY

Travel, Old Town & surroundings:










Prague Castle:





It feels good to catch up.

About a month ago I got on a plane to Prague, courtesy of work. I really had no idea what to expect of the city - I had done no real research and had hardly even looked at photos. As we approached the city I felt as though we were entering a fairy tale. The city looked so picturesque I almost thought it was fake.

The hotel was conveniently located near the Old Town, so many of Prague's sights were within walking distance. Photos above are primarily of the Old Town and surrounding areas. By the end of the week I was able to make it across the Charles Bridge and trekked up to the Prague Castle.

Weather was beautiful. Meals of goulash and Pilsner were had. Prague, thank you for creating wonderful memories.

I'm also completely in love with the Prada fan.
